Account Executive (or Inside Sales Executive, Sales Manager, Sales Director)

We seek an ambitious and team-oriented Account Executive to join the growing TrustFoundry team in Kansas City.

TrustFoundry is a leading information security consulting firm based in Overland Park, Kansas. The tight-knit, expert TrustFoundry team works to help clients eliminate risk through custom technical security services, including application penetration testing and network penetration testing services.

TrustFoundry Culture

Founded in 2014, TrustFoundry has grown organically, hiring experts and remaining singularly focused on customer satisfaction. We have a talented team, wonderful customers, and we work in an exciting space where we can make a true impact. We are fortunate to have a great employee and customer retention rate, with a high percentage of customers coming from referrals.

Our team is remote, efficient, and highly technical—big enough to offer excellent client experiences and team collaboration, yet small enough to ensure no one is “just a number.” Instead, contributions are valued, and any one person can significantly impact the company and our customer’s success. The success of our customers comes first, so we have happy customers who are rewarding to work with.

The industry we work in is fast-changing—we love what we do and how we can use technology and our skills to better our clients. So while we don’t expect an Account Executive to know everything about IT security, to enjoy this role and company environment, you’ll need to have a certain level of technical interest and openness to learning about it.

  • Sales experience with a proven background of success
